The governor of New Mexico invoked the state’s Riot Control Act and sealed off all roads to nonessential traffic in the city of Gallup to help control a surging coronavirus outbreak in the city on the outskirts of the Navajo Nation.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Friday said he will issue an extension of his"stay home, stay healthy" order through May 31, but he also outlined how the state may allow some businesses to reopen.
"We have not won this fight against this virus," Inslee said."Monday's order will continue a ban on public gatherings. Many businesses will have to remain closed.". Protocols allowing those operations could be ready by mid-May, Inslee said. The governor did not give an exact timeline but said there will be at least three weeks between phases. Some counties less hard-hit could be allowed to move faster.
